Spacers on stock springs

[Goldenballs]

I have a 2.0T S-line Audi with BBS speedlines. I fancy getting some spacers to bring the track out just that bit more, but changing the springs isn't something that I want to be doing right now. Has anyone else done this?

Hi there,
had 20mm spacers out back with 7.5x18 ET54 225/40 wheels on... I had no issues with rubbing or so as long as it wasn't lowered, maybe it sometimes slighlty rubbed on speedbumbs when I was too faast lol... Once my car was lowered, wheels sometimes rubbed a bit, but nothing terrible... Go for 15mm or 20 mm on back and 10 or 12 mm on front if you have same spec wheels as me...

Here are the photos with 20mm spacers on back... Sorry, I have no more photos, it was long time ago..

Thanks Jakub, looks good. Id probably be going for 12mm rear, 10 front as that seams to be a popular choice. I don't have the same wheels as you, mine are BBS speedlines, to which i don't know how to find out what offset they are..?

Every wheel has its specs stamped inside. But if you are running oem A3/S3 18" speedlines then they probably have same specs as I mentioned, so it would look like mine. In case you are running 19's speedlines, there are much more possibilities. So to be 100% sure, check the inside of your wheel and then choose the right width of spacers... Glad to help..

You'll be fine running spacers on standard springs and I'd say 10mm front and 12mm rear should be spot on for Speedlines.
